 Are you a dedicated Healthcare Assistant who wants to provide high quality care?

Join Katharine House Hospice Stafford in our In-Patient unit, where your work will help us provide compassionate, professional and responsive care.

 About us

Katharine House Hospice offer the best care so that people in our community, affected by progressive illnesses, can live their lives to the full.

The in-patient unit at Katharine House Hospice is a specialist palliative care unit supporting adults with life-limiting illness.

We value people – so much so, it’s one of our three key values as a charity.

We provide ongoing support with opportunities for professional development. We are also able to provide access to the NHS pension scheme if you are currently an existing member.

The Role

As a Healthcare Assistant in our In Patient Unit you’ll work in a great team of dedicated staff with more time to provide care thanks to our excellent ratio of staff to patients.

You will work a rotational shift pattern, including nights, but we are willing to consider flexible agreements to suit the needs of the service. Long days or short days are available – the choice is yours.

Your voice matters and we’ll listen to your views to help the department improve. We also provide ongoing development opportunities to help your professional growth.

Please note, an enhanced DBS clearance will be required for this role.

What’s in it for you?

33 days per annum, which includes bank holidays (pro rata for part time), increasing after five and 10 years’ service.

We match contributions up to 7% to a NEST scheme.  If you’re currently contributing to the NHS pension scheme you can continue to do so.

Reassurance should the worst happen. 2 x salary to your family.
